Students Benefit System
EDiSU (ENTE PER IL DIRITTO ALLO STUDIO UNIVERSITARIO, government agency for the rights for high-level education)
Students’ benefits are managed by EDiSU (Ente per il Diritto allo Studio Universitario), a dedicated government agency aimed to provide housing, financial support and other special subsidies to eligible students.
Every year, EDiSU offers scholarships to enrolled or prospective students. Scholarships are a mix of cash money, one free meal per day and accommodation. Students can apply for a scholarship even if they are not enrolled yet but the scholarship will be awarded during the academic year.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of income and academic results.
